“I was thinking how lucky I am that my son receives so much personal attention. Then I realized that he isn't the only one! Every child at RJA gets that kind of special attention. That's one of the things that sets this school apart.”
— Dana DeBlasi, parent

Weekly Torah Portion
At RJA, leading the Torah service is a rite of passage that begins in third grade. By that time, students can adequately decipher ancient texts, apply trope (chanting notations), contemplate possible interpretations and serve as a spiritual leader.
Each Thursday, a student in third, fourth or fifth grade chants Torah and engages the entire school in a discussion. Every student is encouraged to think deeply, to ask questions and to consider how the stories of their heritage can be a guide for ethical living.
